I just updated from the launcher and now I can't start EQBC from the Icon tray. I can, however, start it from the mq2 folder location by the EQBCS.exe.
 
Had something weird happen today and was hoping someone can give me an idea of where or what to check next. I always use the Launcher to start MQ2 just to be sure all my stuff is up to date. Today when I opened the Launcher it brought up the "Do you want this allow this program to make changes" screen just like normal. When I click yes it just seems to end the process, nothing happens. I used it yesterday after the patch and it worked fine and updated all my stuff. I was able to load MQ2 from the directory and once in game all my macros loaded up just fine. I opened my Task Manager to see if the Launcher was open but hung up or something but saw no evidence of that. So from what I can see it starts to open but just does nothing after the permission screen. Any ideas on things to check out on my end? Thanks, AnotherJohn

I have continued to work on a solution to this by trying to re-download the Launcher. I used the "Repair" option which seemed to function. At least after the permission screen the download bar runs and the app then quits. I was hopeful this was going to work but I am still having the same problem of the Launcher not doing anything after the permission screen. I have also tried running as administrator, no help there. Will keep looking at it with my limited skills but if anyone has ideas in the meantime I am all ears.

I found an old thread that suggested to try to change the default browser. My browsers are not out of date but switched the default from Edge to Chrome. No luck.

My last shot was removing the Launcher completely and then reinstalling. Still nothing happening after the permission screen. All I know is that it worked perfectly the day after the patch. I shut down my computer for the night. Started it up the next day and the Launcher had stopped working. I really am at a loss for what can be going on and am hoping someone with more knowledge can point me in a direction to check. Thanks, AnotherJohn

When you shut down the PC could it have turned back on an antivirus/pop up blocker or other similar type program that could be affecting the launcher? Maybe one had been updated but not installed until you rebooted. Double check those areas and I hope the solution presents itself.
 
Branson24,

Was a good idea. I didnt think about the chance that my virus protection setting may have been updated. I use Norton and double checked there and found that RGResourceManager is checked as "Allow". That appears to be the Launcher program according to the path given. So no luck there but was worth checking, Thanks.

Damn, I hoped it would help. Did you try disabling it and running the launcher just in case. You said it was marked properly but it doesn’t hurt to vheck
 
I turned off Norton entirely and tried but got the same result. It just seems to quit with no visual reason after I click allow on the permission screen. It just doesnt continue from that point. Again, things worth checking so thanks for taking the time to suggest them.

Additional thoughts, is there a log file that RedGuides Launcher would create when there is a problem with it? Is there a better place to post this problem I am having with RedGuides Launcher where it maybe more visable? Again, any ideas on where to check next would be very much appreciated. Thanks, AnotherJohn

@AnotherJohn not sure what happened to this, I wrote you up a long response yesterday.

Since you are asking launcher questions you should post in the launcher thread > HERE < since your issue is unrelated to the actual mq2 live patch, and related specifically to the launcher.

Since you already tried the switching browser, i would suggest clearing out your appdata and trying again

Open file explorer and go to %LocalAppData%\RedGuides and delete the folder ResourceManager

you should definitely put further questions on this topic to the launcher thread
 
unload isboxer and see if crashes stop
if they do stop, swing by isboxer site?
 
hmmm, had lots of crashing all of a sudden in Burning Woods tonight. Got to the point I couldnt get in game from character select - had noticed mq2nav started crapping out before the bout of crashing started, giving me an out of memory error when trying to load the nav file even though it had been working fine for many days beforehand - anyway edited macroquest.ini to unload some plugins including MQ2nav and that got me going again, moved into chardok and reloaded plugins, no more problems. Try unloading plugins if you're having problems, mq2nav in particular
 
I'm still running an IHC build from April and can go for days without issue. After updating today, my bard is going back to locking up.

What software do you all use to open the .dmp logs?

you can view dmps with a few things - but a real look into a .dmp file would require having symbols access from when they were built - if you are on live server you're not going to have access to those symbols, unfortunately. I would recommend sending it to [email protected] as the crash popup likely mentioned.

if you wanted to PM me 1 .dmp file i can take a quick peek and see if there is anything in there that is useful (keep in mind .dmp files will have information like your character name)

yeah unfortunately the eqgame dmp has absolutely nothing in your stack frame - so it could be a whole bunch of things that caused it, but nothing that i can see. best bet is to send to mule so he can do all his mule goodness on it.

I would suggest unloading these plugins if you aren't specifically intentionally using them

Hello All,

For about week MQ2 has been crashing with either a dmp file regarding "autosize" or "afnuke". I use multiple computers and I crash on them all. Also I use KA but AFNuke for dps in case that is pertinent but I would really appreciate any feedback. I don't have any hair to pull out so I don't know to do from here

Hello. I've been having fun with mq2mule. There was a patch today - downtime was extended - and servers are acting up. I ran the redguides launcher and a popup let me know that mq2 is not installed now for some reason and the folder disappeared entirely. I'm guessing that this a normal thing on patch day and it will remedy when the redguides launcher update becomes available? (it says "patch day - unavailable" now).

folder shouldn't have disappeared, but yeah until patch is out, you can't re-patch
 
Yeah, I am new to this but thought it was odd the folder disappeared, but it did. While I was waiting on the servers I rebooted and windows did an update. I wonder if that had anything to do with it. I definitely didn't delete it. Anyhow, worst-case scenario, I redownload and create new profiles, I guess.

- MQ2DPSAdv (Knightly) Fixed a naming collision crash.
Add HistoryLimit setting to the ini which allows you to specify how many mobs for which to keep a DPS history. This should help in those times where running the plugin for long periods of time eventually slows down or crashes. The default is 25.
Add /dps limit command to set the history limit for that character

After patch yesterday I keep getting this error. I'm a bit new here so maybe this happens every patch, would appreciate any advice on how to fix this. Thank you.

I don't see anything in update notes about it, but it seems autologin is working again if you have characters on different servers.
 
Things can change patch-by-patch. Make sure you send the crash dumps to the email provided in the message. EQ itself isn't always the most stable either.

- NEW PLUGIN! MQ2Ice (dewey2461) An addon to deal with skidding on ice. It forces "walk" on ice, and when skidding it will pause stick/Nav, allows movement keys to halt motion, and will resume stick/nav when skidding stops. Made for ToFS, but .ini settings can make it work anywhere.
- MQ2Status (Sic, Knightly) Added "/status macro" to report the macro you have running, and cleaned up subscription section
